Association between dietary intake of live microbes and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: a cross-sectional study of NHANES 2007-2012.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Diet plays a crucial role in intervening in the development of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), yet previous studies have not investigated the impact of dietary intake of live microbes on COPD. This study aims to assess the relationship between the two.

Methods

Participants from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2007 to 2012 were selected. The exposure variable was the estimated intake of live microbes in the diet, categorized into low, medium, and high groups. The outcome variable was COPD. A multivariable logistic regression model was used to assess the relationship between estimated dietary intake of live microbes and the risk of COPD.

Results

In the fully adjusted multiple logistic regression model, particip
